Agroturism
As people become more and more interested in how and where their food is grown, interest in Agroturism is rising. Declining profits in Agriculture combined with the trend towards Eco friendliness has driven development in this sector. According to Forbes, global market share for Agroturism is projected to reach $ 10.6 billion by 2024 (Ewing-Chow, 2019).
Agrotourism, as defined most broadly, involves any agriculturally based operation or activity that brings visitors to a farm or ranch (Market Watch, 2019). Agrotourism is typically known as farm stays, and have been in existence for quite some time now. In countries such as Italy farm stays have been in existence as early as the 1960s. However, as the trend towards eco-friendly grows so has the industry for Agrotourism. Gone are the days of the simple bed and breakfast style farm stays of the past. The Agrotourism industry has now evolved to include chic stylish retreats, which offer guests an assortment of eco – friendly experiences where they can feel at one with nature. Such as onsite farm to table restaurants, with seasonal ingredients that embody the 0 km meal. Eco-friendly spas with treatments derived from rare to find natural ingredients, Rikki healing sessions, in addition to outdoor meditation and yoga gatherings. When it comes to Agrotourism destinations there is no shortage.

In Spain, the trend has leaned more towards refurbished Fincas. Just look at the list below to check out some of the most eco- friendly resorts the world has to offer.

This boutique art hostel meets Agrotourism is definitely a one of a kind jewel. Situated on 800m2 of farmland, Ibizazen began as an 18th century Finca. With the 1970’s a growth in tourism hit the island. Ibizazen was amongst the new wave of accommodations to open up on the Island referred to as hostels. The old farmhouse was refurbished and became known as Hostal Can Bufi, one of the first gay Hostels to open up on the Island. Ibizazen was previously referred to as Hostal Can Bufi (House of Bufi). A name that paid tribute to the original owners, the Bufi Family. As one of the very first gay Hostels on the Island, Ibizazen definitely has a rich and interesting history.
As of 2013, Hostal can Bufi was transformed into Ibizazen, a boutique art hotel that welcomes all kinds of guests from the world over. The new name of the hostel Ibizazen describes the space perfectly. It is a play on words that combines the two words Ibiza and Zazen. A concept that refers to the state of mind of just being, by letting words, ideas, images, and thoughts pass by without actually getting involved in them. One can’t help but to enter a state of Zazen when admiring the eclectic combination of artworks and design styles that characterize the place. Hip paintings by modern Dutch artist, Yvonne Michiels add a splash of color to the aesthetic by hanging over the beds in each room. By combining Hindu, Buddhist and African statues with modern art, recycled items, and natural materials, Ibizazen has definitely created a uniquely inspiring space. The good news is all of the hip items hanging around the hotel can be purchased onsite at Ibizazen’s concept boutique. From Buddhist statues to Yvonne Michelis recycled artwork, to unique clothing pieces, Ibizazen has everything you need to take home a piece of your experience with you. The owners wanted to combine the feelings of luxury and relaxation. Guests can experience outdoor massages in many of the plush gardens of orange groves and lemon trees that surround the landscape. Or if you’re in the mood to unwind join an outdoor yoga session.
